Family story according to my great aunt Louise Barbara ANDREW:Her grandfather (my great great grandfather) was surnamed ADAIR (Scots-Irish) living in Philadelphia Pennsylvania in mid-19th century, employed as Pinkerton guard, married? (had child with) a Miss HALORY, and then died/left? His son (my great grandfather) took his adopted father's surname William H ANDREW, went to college in the eastern US with friend Eugene Ashton LONGLEY, and became traveling salesman coming to St Louis Missouri 1892-1895.I have had several y-DNA studies (Ybase = ZTUX6, Ysearch = NQHG8) not matching any ANDREW or ADAIR indicating haplogroup J21b (formerly J21e). Any information would be appreciated...Clifford George (ADAIR) ANDREW.

There is an Adair line of interest to me that has interchanged the Adair and O'Dair name. The web address below will show an extensive line of these adair odairs from early North South Carolina and Virginia circ. 1730 to 1840.

I am looking for a male descendant of this line for the purpose of a DNA test. This is the only O'Dair line that has not been tested if indeed its not O'Dair and is adair. There is some history of this line being in Pennyslvania along where other O'Dair lines lived.

Hi, gumbys. Thank you for your interest in the Adair project. We typically do not post anyone born after 1910 on the patriarch page for privacy reasons, but if you have any earlier information, we would be glad to post it.

I now have additional information on this: Louise Barbara ANDREW's grandfather (my great great grandfather) was Luther G ADAIR. He was married to Elizabeth Reyburn WHEELER on 24 Jul 1862 in Boone Co IN. They had a son (my great grandfather) William H ADAIR born 14 May 1863 in IN.

However they divorced and she remarried Edwin A ANDREW on 5 Sep 1871 in Boone Co IN who legally adopted William on 6 Jun 1881 in Clinton Co IN and took his stepfather's surname as William H ANDREW. Luther G ADAIR removed to Eugene Lane Co OR on 25 Sep 1873 and died there 24 Oct 1909, buried in Lee Mission Cemetery in Salem Marion Co OR.

Luther G ADAIR was one of seven children born to Henry ADAIR b c1800 in Maryland and Elpha GROVER b c1803 in New York. They lived in Ohio between 1825-1832 where their three first children were born prior to removal to Battleground Tippecanoe Indiana around 1833.
